Mackey Standard Jump Stud for Horse Shoes
Description
Mackey Standard Jump Stud
The Mackey Standard Jump Stud is a screw-in horse shoe stud that gives additional grip on normal ground. It is best for riders who jump, school or hack on typical going and want more security underfoot without moving to a specialist mud or road stud.
The stud screws into a pre-tapped hole in the shoe, is used for the duration of the work and is removed afterwards. It suits horses and ponies across general riding, pony club, riding club and everyday yard work.

FAQ
What ground is this stud for? The Mackey Standard Jump Stud is intended for additional grip on normal ground. For very hard or very deep going, riders usually choose a stud shape designed for those conditions.
How many studs do I need? Many riders use one stud per shoe on the hind feet, while others use two per shoe or all four feet. Follow the advice of your farrier or instructor for your horse and the work you do.
Do I need stud holes in my horse's shoes? Yes. Screw-in studs only fit shoes that have been tapped with stud holes by a farrier. They cannot be used on unshod hooves or untapped shoes.
Can I leave studs in after riding? No. Studs should be removed after work and should not be left in while the horse is stabled, travelling or turned out, as they can cause injury and uneven loading of the limb.
Is this sold singly or as a set? This item is supplied as a single stud unless the product options state otherwise, so order the quantity you need.
How do I keep the stud holes clear? Clean the threads with a tap after each use and fill the holes with cotton wool or purpose-made plugs so grit does not pack in.
